I used to travel around Europe and compete in university debate, so I like the idea of making argument into a form of combat. I managed to complete the tutorial and the 2nd level by performing basic actions to charge up by power, and then advanced actions to progress the conversation. I then was tasked with getting sheep into the enclosure, and after a few minutes of trying to interact with them they didn't seem to respond to my attempts to herd them (?), so I halted there as I wasn't sure how to progress. Potentially I am missing something.

It seems like there are a lot of different systems in this game! I didn't have time to fully comprehend the preference system, and I saw notes in the level up text about minigame zone timing, and I assume the four tabs at the bottom will also play a role later. 

Thanks for making this!

Unfortunately, Etarp's I was also stolen (which is why he's wearing two eyepatches). Not confirming or denying anything, but there MIGHT be a side quest related to this which MIGHT be connected to unlocking the secret ending ;)

A simple, well-balanced action game with polished gameplay and satisfying progression. 

I'm not sure if I'm missing something, but submitting does not seem to do anything.

Beautiful hand drawn art style which I appreciated :)

Polished game with simple, satisfying game loop.

Very uplifting experience and aesthetic. I am spiritually nourished.

I wished the messages in bottles led to some kind of story.

This makes a lot of sense! I managed to get some turtles to safety.

An incremental game where you ferry increasing numbers of rescued D-Day survivors across the English channel. Well themed throughout with good sound effects, and with a complete gameplay loop in three phases. However, after watching my men get turned into a red smear in front of my eyes countless times, and watching the death count creep up each day, I cannot say that I felt uplifted by this game.

Wow, I saw JFBrMusic credited and assumed that was someone else. Didn't realise that you'd made it for this jam! Awesome work, it sounds great. I've upgraded my 4 stars to 5 stars for sound, you deserve to win that category for sure.

I figured out that some characters had synergies, and that these seemed to change periodically, and also that these seemed to influence whether or not the obstacles were deactivated, but I struggled to coordinate well enough to get any turtles to safety. Maybe I'm missing something? Would love to come back and replay later if developer replies to this comment with some assistance.

A challenging physics based platformer with great level design. I think this game has really nailed two of the hardest things to get right in a game jam game, which is challenge and clarity. I understood what I had to do, and it wasn't always easy, but the feeling of slowly getting better at the physics provided a satisfying payoff when I finally won. 5 stars for gameplay/fun on that basis :)

A short exploration game where you pick up items from the ocean floor by swimming up to them and pressing e. The big whales swimming around higher up made me feel like a small diver in a big pond and were a nice touch :)

Game initially froze the 1st time I launched it, but worked the 2nd time, and well worth it!

Short, highly aesthetic platformer with cool lighting, music, and an uplifting message. I love to rave, and I think this game's creator does too, because I felt the spirit of trance while playing. Hits all the key points on the scoring criteria, so it's a strong rating from me. Wish it were longer.

I reached 1000 score! It's always nice to see handmade assets in a game jam game.
Gameplay is simple, but well themed and classic. Fireworks shoot out at point milestones. I wish something cooler happened at further milestones.

I love the artstyle and how responsive movement felt :) Instantly filling up my bag with trash was very satisfying. 

Make sure to talk to the whale guy on the right to get a trash bag first.

I feel uplifted <3
